Mirror Symmetry IV: Proceedings of the Conference on Strings, Duality, and Geometry, Centre De Recherches Mathematiques of the University De Montreal ... 2000 (Ams/Ip Studies in Advanced Mathematics)

The 24 papers in this collection from the March 2000 conference explore developments in Seiberg-Witten theory, integrable models, gauge theories, M-theory, D-branes, non-commutative geometry, AdS/CFT correspondence, elliptic genera, and modular forms. Topics include cohomological properties of ruled symplectic structures, the periodic and open Toda lattice, holographic duals of 4D field theories, exact integration methods for supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, and evidence for winding states in non-commutative quantum field theory.
